Sports and Recreation Ministry

Dave Turner

Exercise through sports and recreation is an important part of living a healthy lifestyle whether we’re a weekend warrior, an athlete, or we just want to get a little exercise while enjoying the company of friends. It addresses many of our physical, social, and emotional needs. It is also a wonderful opportunity for all of us at Valley Presbyterian Church to have fun and exercise, in addition to being a way we can reach out to our friends in the community.

As you can see on this site, we have a number of sports and recreation programs for all ages. While these programs serve as a way for us to live a healthier lifestyle, they can also serve a greater purpose. We have an opportunity to invite those we know in our community, who may not attend a church, to join us for a game of basketball or attend a Jazzercise class. It’s through these programs that relationships can build and avenues to engage them in other opportunities at Valley Presbyterian Church can occur, such as a worship service, a Wednesday evening class, or a service project.

Is it possible we can use something like sports and recreation as a tool to invite others to Valley Presbyterian Church? I believe we can and I invite you to pass it on to others. I look forward to seeing you in one of our fun new recreation programs.

Serving Christ with Joy,
Rev. David L. Turner
